I have PMs in with each vendor/salesman/person who was recommended in this thread. I appreciate your input and took it into consideration. I simply haven't heard back yet.
No offense meant to you or anyone else but thought i would put this out there as its been my experience with other vendors and is definitely the case with me, even more so since I became a one man show a few months ago.
PM's on these sites is about the slowest and most time consuming way of communicating, it often results in the best deal when thats what your looking for but when your in a time crunch...pick up the phone. I have dealt with @Definitive Dave quite a bit thru PM's when i wasnt in a hurry but if i need the stuff the next day...I ebay it from him and pay the extra coin because a simple transaction for 2 or 3 items may take a week or more working thru PM's.
Cant speak for Dave but in my case here is what i wade thru everyday....4 forums that may have no PM's or a dozen each on any given day, 3 email accounts that are basically the same...might be only a couple important emails each or there might be 50 each in any given day, dont wanna leave out msgs on facebook.....both to my shop and to my personal account. Then you have counter sales, phone calls, filling website orders....all of which come before i answer the first email/PM/message. Add in a healthy dose of shop work and you can see why PM's on here are slow for some of us to reply to. I give a little better deal on higher margin items when dealing thru PM's for jsut this reason....there has to be an advantage for going the slow route.
